Material and immaterial forms of miracle appropriation among the neogranadina population, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries

El artículo analiza las formas de producción, apropiación y circulación del milagro entre la población del Nuevo Reino de Granada, durante los siglos XVI, XVII y XVIII. Se recurrió a la concepción del milagro como condición de posibilidad de “lo maravilloso cristiano”, según relaciones o diarios de viaje escritos por clérigos de diferentes órdenes regulares y seculares que transitaron por el territorio con fines misionales, realizándose una tipología de los hechos identificados. La metodología se orientó desde una mirada popular del milagroo indagándose sobre los procesos de producción de santos locales, la retórica eclesiástica sobre la asistencia de santos en la enfermedad, la configuración de expresiones materiales e inmateriales de gratitud y los fenómenos de circulación y difusión del milagro en el centro del territorio mencionado. Además se identificaron cuatro categorías de milagros -de una imagen sobre sí, de asistencia, físicos y taumatúrgicos- y se agruparon como impersonales, individuales o colectivos. The paper analyzes the forms of production, appropriation and circulation of miracles among the population of Nueva Granada, in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The concept of miracle as a condition of possibility of “the Christian as wonderful”, according to relations or travel diaries written by clerics of different regular and secular orders, who travelled through the territory with missional purposes, was used to draw a typology of the facts identified. The methodology is oriented by a popular look of miracles and studies the production of local saints as a process, the ecclesiastical rhetoric informing about the assistance of these saints in disease, the configuration of tangible and intangible expressions of gratitude and the phenomena of miracle circulation and dissemination at the center of the mentioned territory. Four categories of miracles were identified –of an image on itself, assistance, physical and thaumaturgic- and were classified as impersonal, individual or collective.&nbsp

Factores asociados a la elección de carrera y universidad

RESUMEN: Con el fin de identificar factores asociados a la elección de carrera y universidad, se realizó un estudio, mediante una encuesta, a los estudiantes de undécimo grado de establecimientos educativos ubicados en la zona urbana de los municipios de Santas Bárbara, La Pintada, Fredonia y Barbosa en el departamento de Antioquia. Los resultados muestran que el 28% de los estudiantes se inclinan por carreras del área de salud tales como medicina, veterinaria, enfermería y odontología. Además, se detectó que en la elección del estudiante ejercen influencia los padres, familiares más cercanos y amigos. Esta influencia se ejerce, muchas veces, de manera indirecta, ya que tanto los padres como los hijos no reconocen conscientemente la influencia que está en juego. Por otro lado, se halló que el 80% de los estudiantes prefieren estudiar en las universidades públicas como la Universidad de Antioquia y la Universidad Nacional, pues consideran que "son favorables económicamente" y "tienen calidad académica”. El proceso de elección de carrera y universidad, al margen de los determinantes externos, se encuentra regulado por las elecciones particulares de cada individuo, las cuales se reflejan en los imaginarios en los que basa el estudiante para hacer su elección

An embedding technique to determine ττ backgrounds in proton-proton collision data

An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model tau tau backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed mu mu events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb(-1).Peer reviewe

Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

Abstract The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d̂ t) and chromomagnetic (μ̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable AFB(1) is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate t t ¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for t t ¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are AFB(1)=0.048−0.087+0.095(stat)−0.029+0.020(syst),μ̂t=−0.024−0.009+0.013(stat)−0.011+0.016(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of | d̂ t| < 0.03 at 95% confidence level.

Search for Physics beyond the Standard Model in Events with Overlapping Photons and Jets

Results are reported from a search for new particles that decay into a photon and two gluons, in events with jets. Novel jet substructure techniques are developed that allow photons to be identified in an environment densely populated with hadrons. The analyzed proton-proton collision data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in 2016 at root s = 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The spectra of total transverse hadronic energy of candidate events are examined for deviations from the standard model predictions. No statistically significant excess is observed over the expected background. The first cross section limits on new physics processes resulting in such events are set. The results are interpreted as upper limits on the rate of gluino pair production, utilizing a simplified stealth supersymmetry model. The excluded gluino masses extend up to 1.7 TeV, for a neutralino mass of 200 GeV and exceed previous mass constraints set by analyses targeting events with isolated photons.Peer reviewe

Calibration of the CMS hadron calorimeters using proton-proton collision data at root s=13 TeV

Methods are presented for calibrating the hadron calorimeter system of theCMSetector at the LHC. The hadron calorimeters of the CMS experiment are sampling calorimeters of brass and scintillator, and are in the form of one central detector and two endcaps. These calorimeters cover pseudorapidities vertical bar eta vertical bar ee data. The energy scale of the outer calorimeters has been determined with test beam data and is confirmed through data with high transverse momentum jets. In this paper, we present the details of the calibration methods and accuracy.Peer reviewe

Measurement of the Jet Mass Distribution and Top Quark Mass in Hadronic Decays of Boosted Top Quarks in pp Collisions at root s=13 TeV

A measurement is reported of the jet mass distribution in hadronic decays of boosted top quarks produced in pp collisions at root s = 13 TeV. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The measurement is performed in the lepton + jets channel of t (t) over bar events, where the lepton is an electron or muon. The products of the hadronic top quark decay t -> bW -> bq (q) over bar' are reconstructed as a single jet with transverse momentum larger than 400 GeV. The t (t) over bar cross section as a function of the jet mass is unfolded at the particle level and used to extract a value of the top quark mass of 172.6 +/- 2.5 GeV. A novel jet reconstruction technique is used for the first time at the LHC, which improves the precision by a factor of 3 relative to an earlier measurement. This highlights the potential of measurements using boosted top quarks, where the new technique will enable future precision measurements.Peer reviewe

Search for top squark pair production in a final state with two tau leptons in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A search for pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, the top squark, in proton-proton collision events at s = 13 TeV is presented in a final state containing hadronically decaying tau leptons and large missing transverse momentum. This final state is highly sensitive to high-tan beta or higgsino-like scenarios in which decays of electroweak gauginos to tau leptons are dominant. The search uses a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 77.2 fb(-1), which was recorded with the CMS detector during 2016 and 2017. No significant excess is observed with respect to the background prediction. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are presented in the top squark and lightest neutralino mass plane within the framework of simplified models, in which top squark masses up to 1100 GeV are excluded for a nearly massless neutralino.Peer reviewe
